📸 + 💭: kendallrosephoto “Tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier) possess highly adapted sensory organs that make them effective nocturnal hunters. Their eyes contain a reflective layer called the ‘tapetum lucidum’, which enhances low-light vision and allows them to detect prey in dark or murky waters. Their eyes can also rotate slightly, giving them a wider field of view without moving their head. In addition to vision, tiger sharks have sensitive inner ears that detect low-frequency vibrations, enabling them to sense struggling prey from considerable distances.” #MarineMonday #TigerShark #Sharks
